I just put a deposit down for a male boxer. eeeeeeeeeeeeek. Thought about it hard and I am just going to go with the decision. I hope I made the right one. The puppy wont be here for a looooong time. its good because by that time, i am hoping that Mya is totally calm.

Oh hey..........so I was reading your post about crating Stanley for a long time.

So my solution with Mya was I put a litter box in her crate with cat pine. It was a breeders suggestion and what it did was it allowed a place for Mya to relieve herself. I have a lot of postings about how I did it here and you will notice that a lot will say that it defeats the purpose of housetraining.

Well, I dont think so. Ive trained Mya this way and she has not once had an accident at home. She only pooped in her crate once - but thats because she didnt have any other place to go.
